    Just got a birthday card from my Swiss bankers

    Hand written Birthday card including a quote from Samuel Butler.

    Did I forget I won the lotto or something

    Enjoying the bench, looking out at the snow.

    Are you sure it wasn't a post card from some Caribbean location where he's absconded with your dosh.

      I got a present from my bank once. Followed by several phone calls trying to sell me stuff.

            Goa development thingy, didn't go as planned. Still trying to sort it out.

            But made lots of friends, planning to head out for the season again this year.

            Just hope no one offers me a contract anytime soon, I may not be able to say no

              Oh dear, building issues or bureaucracy ? Hopefully sortable.

                Reminds me of this:

                I believe I'm gonna
                Shut down my chakras, shift Shiva offa my shelf
                Take down my tie dyes, my Tibetan bells
                Cool down my carma with a can of O.P.T.
                Ain't no call for Casteneda in my frontline library.

                There's one thing I know, Lord above,
                I ain't gonna go,
                I ain't goin' to Goa, Ain't goin' to Goa now
                Ain't goin' to Goa, Ain't gonna Goa now.

                Ain't dancin' trance, no thanx, no chance to t-t-tranquilise me.
                Ain't sippin' no smart bar drinks, you, that don't satisfy me.
                Dosing up my dharma, with a drop of gasoline,
                I ain't down with Mr. McKenna, tantric mantra talkin' don't move me.

                I don'tn need no freaky, deeky, fractal geometry, crystal silicon chip.
                I ain't walking on lay lines, reading no High Times put me on another bad trip.
                Timothy Leary, just check out this theory,
                he sold acid for the F.B.I.
                Well, he ain't no website wonder, the guru just went under,
                you can keep your California Sunshine.

                'Cos the righteous truth is, there ain't nothing worse than
                some fool lying on some Third World beach wearing
                spandex, psychedelic trousers, smoking damn dope
                pretending he gettin' consciousness expansion. I want
                consciousness expansion, I go to my local tabernacle
                an' I sing with the brothers and sisters
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Hi, Was it actually your birthday ?
                  If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.
